Video: Hillary playing timeline games again?

Star tipster RLW gave me a heads up on this earlier but I thought it was kind of silly; I see now that it caught Captain Ed’s attention too, so I’ll run it up the flagpole and see how it flies. Follow the link to see the objection. She does, of course, have a track record of misremembering her age to suit the political occasion, as Ed notes, but (a) I couldn’t have told you when the Apollo program started so I can’t fault Hillary’s memory for being hazy, (b) she’s probably using “fifth grade” simply as a generic reference for “when I was young,” (c) even if she isn’t, she’s not necessarily suggesting that the program coincided with her being in fifth grade, merely that that’s when her interest in science began, and (d) eh. We’ve got bigger fish to fry. A sharp catch by both gents, though, and a reminder that it’s always wise to check the Glacier’s facts.

I would like to say how much I sincerely regret my statement about Barack Obama’s sordid drug history and my implication that he sold crack cocaine to minority children. It was wrong of me to bring up his dope-fiend background and I apologize for mentioning that he’s very candid about using a vast panoply of illegal narcotics. Therefore I’m resigning, to continue to tell the shocking truth about Barack Obama’s Reefer Madness as a private citizen, completely unaffiliated with Senator clinton’s positive, America-focused campaign.

Okay, he didn’t really say that, but it strikes me as a kamikaze move all the same.

and wasn’t it also when she was working as like, a sharecropper or something in CA, or gutting fish in Alaska?

Are you perhaps referring to when she was a little girl in an upper middle class Chicago neighborhood, who, on Saturday mornings, would walk over to the Mexican migrant workers’ camp and “help.” Actually, I’d like to hear Dorothy Rodham’s reminisces about this incident too. She said that Hillary was always helping people. I’m sure she remembers this.

I was in the 8th grade when the moon landing happened. She is older than I and I hope that she is called out on this and not just by me. The moon landing by the way was in 69 and her being what 10 yrs. older than me at least, well question mark?

When I was a young girl I was studying to become President of The United
States, not doing drugs or selling crack to young black muslim children…although I should not have mentioned that Barack Osama did that as a young uppity negro drug dealer…
